How do I do a “break” or “continue” when in a functional loop within Kotlin?

Question

In Kotlin, I cannot do a break or continue within a function loop and my lambda -- like I can from a normal for loop. For example, th

Answer 1

If there's a need to use continue or break, it is not ideal to use forEach compare to normal for-loop

If you really like to chain your command, and perform like a for-loop, use the normal functional chain, instead of forLoop

E.g. for

    for(i in 0 until 100 step 3) {
        if (i == 6) continue
        if (i == 60) break
        println(i)
    }

Use map as for-loop, filterNot as continue, and asSequence() & first for break

    (0 until 100 step 3).asSequence()
            .filterNot { it == 6 }
            .map { println(it); it }
            .first { it == 60 }
